Did an open Forward contract to sell THB in Aug at 24.1 against the Kiwi.
Just closed it out at 26.5 spot.
9.95% profit in 4 months. It's been in the money for the entire time but figured today is probably as good as it will get. And the profits in NZD anyway, so if the THB gets any weaker I'll just buy some actual THB and bring it over here.
Mind you, I think its been over sold so if it sees 27 I might just do a forward to sell THB against the Kiwi and make the money on the way back up.
Happiness fulfilled.

JT - how can you claim that he/they are above the law in this instance when you have not made the police aware of the assault.

How much was the disputed amount?

I've got a mate in Pattaya with a PCX that has all the mods shown on that one. He's had no trouble with the BIB.
However, I have heard of several cases where riders (Thai and Falang) have been fined for a modified exhaust. It depends on how greedy the BIB is that particular day.
I think there is a law saying it's unlawful to modify a car or bike from standard............and this law is avidly adhered to by everybody in Thailand.

Any idea if a train actually came?

What a joke this country must be seen from the outside world, so now we see street mobs rule politics and now even the police and the way forward for the country. If there is one elitist among the mob i have seen attacking government offices he must have been well hidden. All i have seen is tattooed long hair stone trowing bullies, and where do they come from certainly not from the middle class or the so called elite, Who have been paying them this time when not Thaksin. As a father to small children, i fear for the day the mob get a sudden urge to turn on us foreigners on some or another pretense. Not paranoid at all, just realistic. Who is going to protect us when all hell break loose. Police is not functioning as they should, the political system in shambles and a former prime minister Abhisit, who by the way never was elected, got his 3 min on CNN today saying that all the chaos could have been avoided if just the present prime minister just had given the power back to the people. What people, did he mean, oh yes the non electable peoples committee.
The "elite" are all too busy talking to their currency and futures brokers and making a bundle while their anarchist brethren roam the streets.
Political turmoil is great for the savvy investor or speculator.
Rest assured that the elite from both sides have all gotten considerably richer over the last month.

Too many troll threads over the past week or so - getting somewhat tedious.

Most drivers (world wide) have probably never actually used their ABS to even know what it feels like or what can be done with it. But then the same applies to drivers of non-ABS vehicles as well.
If you want to see how it feels to brake heavily and familiarise yourself with the experience so you can use it in a real emergency situation, find a good safe quiet bit of tarmac and try braking with varying amounts of pressure from 130-200+klm/h. It's only if you've had this experience that you can use it in a real situation with good effect.
I was in a car once as a passenger and the driver (experienced and safe) hit the brakes in the wet. We were only doing 30klm/h but the brakes pulsed and he felt the surging/let go feeling in the braking effect. He thought the brakes had failed or something, got totally confused because he'd never felt it before.......lets off the brake, and yes, we did roll nicely into the BMW in front of us at probably 15klm/h. It was a sad, slow, sickening feeling to rear end somebody at that speed. I had time to read a novel while the driver was looking at his "broken" foot brake as we rolled slowly into the beamer.

Depends on tyre pressures....................

Um........have you consulted a member of the medical fraternity? Or do you expect a more informed diagnosis by ill-informed TV contributors.
I humbly suggest you consult a doctor at one of the better hospitals in your area.

I thought it was a British thing the women wear s singlet while they beat their little man
Flo' never wore a wife-beater when she bashed Andy. She always wore a pinny. British women have much more decorum than that.

Gsxrnz, I missed that detail...in the case of aftermarket tires the manual means nothing.
And we are in 100% agreement on the low profile tires...you almost have to run them at or near max pressure to keep from bashing your expensive rims on the great roads found in most places. They will definitely give you a shitty ride.

Yep, first pothole (translation: small swimming pool), and you've knackered your rim. And if you suddenly brake to save your rims, you'll be wearing a two scooters and a concrete truck up your jacksie. TIT

A nail gun would be much more efficient. Just disable the automatic setting and the drunks in Patts wouldn't do too much damage.

Well there was a scam going a couple of yrs ago in Pattaya, where the guys that top up the ATM machines were in fact robbing them and were caught.
They would load the machines and fold a Bt1000 note in half and if you were the unlucky person that wanted, say Bt10,000 out the ATM. It would count 10,000 but as one was folded, you only got 9,000. Not knowing anything about how the ATM's count the cash out, I can only go on this report or your maid knocked it off.
BS - as an ex bank employee responsible for loading and reconciling ATM's, I can tell you that is urban legend. ATM discrepancies occur in something like 0.01% of transactions. The biggest drama is if a cassette of 500's is loaded as 1,000's, and even that's rather hard to do these days - plus they'd have multiple (and very quick) complaints at the bank.
Somebody took your 1,000 baht note, or you're in the 0.01% margin of error.

I simply concluded that JD tasted better without the coke.
Lost 7 kg in 6 weeks, and eat like a horse, back to my target 75kg.

Jesus!!! RTFM!!
Edit: And basically with that low a profile, it doesn't really matter, it will ride like <deleted> anyway. Why people buy a 4-wheel drive and then but bicycle tyres on it has always been rather an amusement. Got a noisy exhaust to go with it by any chance?

It's an Amurcan thing. They beat their wives while wearing a wife-beater - it's compulsory.

Anybody should know what the balance of their bank account is, and if you're running that close to the bone that 150 baht is a problem and you care about it.....basically your effed!

Good point - it seems that crosses are a mystery to some as well.
I've been lucky as a Kiwi. In the 3 years I've been here the NZD/THB cross has climbed from circa 21 to circa 26. I'm 24% better off than I was in terms of buying power, plus profits on regular forwards. The Kiwi is a great currency to play with. Keeps getting overvalued and then oversold, 5cent moves against the USD over 3 months are routine - just got to be on the right side of it and don't be too greedy.
Naam - what pairs can't you trade via forward that you have to use NDF's?
